What's been your largest age gap relationship

[CrystalMaze55]

Interested to hear if anyone has dated or had a fling with someone younger than them

When I was 32 I went out with a 52 year old for a few months, and also a 23 year old a couple of times (they were just visiting the country). They were very different people not just because of their age but also basic personality.

The 52 year old was a receptionist at a company I visited regularly. She initiated but I did like and fancy her. A couple of years later she married the boss, and once threw me a wink when he wasn’t looking. Good times :)

19 years older. He was lovely and we had lots in common but he already had a teen daughter and I knew I'd want a family of my own at some point. He wouldn't have wanted to go back to the baby stage.

2 years younger, far too immature.

My ex was 7 years younger. I was 32 and he was 25 when we met. The age gap was never an issue. The fact he wasn't mature enough to cope with my teens was.

Dh is nearly 7 years younger than me. We met when he was 21 (still in uni ) and I was turning 28. We have been married 13 years now and his is by far the most together and mature partner I’ve ever had.

I am with someone 17 years younger than me. Not something I planned for, didn't know how old he was for a while as we met online and just clicked. We were both adults with our own independent lives when we met but at first we didn't think it would work long term but decided to enjoy it for a time. Well years later we are still together and I am deliriously happy. He says the same every day. It probably helps that I look a lot younger than I am so people are often surprised when we say about the age difference so have never had any weird looks or judgement.

There may be issues longer term of course because I am a lot older but I decided that life is too bloody short not to be happy even if happiness defies the usual convention. His family didn't notice the age difference at first either and now just say that as long as we are happy then it doesn't matter (there are 10 years between them too).

It has meant that we have some investments designed to let him retire when I do and other things in place as well. We aren't having children as neither of us want them (he is one of 8 so put off for life )

Go into things with your eyes open, but I have learned not to write something off due to an age gap.

Wow that was way longer than I thought

Hi just thought I’d add I know this post is a little old .

My husband and I have been togeather 16 years and married for 6 of those years. We have three children and there is 15 year age gap between us . It’s never been a problem .

The last few moth we’ve been arguing (lots of reasons) but I’m starting to think is it going to last much longer . We never have sex and I feel we’re drifting miles apart.

Most boyfriends were close to my age as in 1 to 2 years older or younger.

1st H 10 years older

2nd H 20 years younger

Oldest was 13 years older, youngest was 15 years younger and then various age gaps in between.

Ex husband was 11 years older.

13 years older -2 years younger. Both lovely men. Age was not an issue with either of them.

1st 10 year older 2 nd 10 year younger - both arseholes.

I am truly madly and deeply in love with someone 35 years older - he is my best friend and I love him but we are purely platonic but I feel so sad the age gap is so big - I really love him and think he loves me but he is much more like a father figure now x

He's 18 years younger than me. I'm 47, he's 29.

I keep saying it won't last and he'll find a lovely young thing to have babies with... but we've been together for almost 2 years now and adore each other so who knows...

Just before my 20th birthday started seeing a 28 year old lady. Lasted 3 years.

I'm 56, DP is 35. Best relationship ever for both of us, very happy. Been together over 4 years. Age difference never an issue.

...and it was him that persuaded me! The older woman younger man relationship really can be a triumph.

Couldn't go younger and about 5 years older is my limit. Don't care what others do but I have my limits for me. Anything else would creep me out - again, for me personally.

Sorry to hear that @Poodlemum1 - maybe start a thread so you can talk it through with others? Your post on this thread won't get a lot of notice.

In answer to the OP, my H was 15 years older than me. When we split he got with a woman who was 25yrs younger than him. He was older than her parents. It caused a lot of issues with her attempting to step-parent a teen to whom she was closer in age.

I've never been in a relationship with a younger man but I've fucked a lot. They've got more stamina in bed sure, but a lot of them can't give oral for shit. And the ones in their early 20s are often obsessed with porn shit and expect to spit on your fanjo to get you wet. No thanks young man!

10 years younger and 20 years older. Both very good relationships!
